The Federal Air Transport Agency (Russian: Федеральное агентство воздушного транспорта - Federalnoye agentstvo vozdushnogo transporta, FAVT), also known as Rosaviatsiya (Russian: Росавиация), or FATA, is the Russian government agency responsible for overseeing the civil aviation industry in Russia. Its headquarters are in Moscow.[1]
It is also called the Russian Federation Civil Aviation Administration (RFCAA).[2]
The Federal Air Transport Agency regularly works alongside the Interstate Aviation Committee in investigations of aviation accidents and incidents. Its U.S. equivalent is the Federal Aviation Administration.
History
The Federal Air Transport Agency was established in 2004 by Russian President Vladimir Putin. On March 9, 2004, Putin issued a decree, “On the System and Structure of Federal Executive Bodies,” in which the Agency was created. The Agency received many of the functions of the abolished Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.[3]
A cyberattack on Rosaviatsia by hackers was unleashed in late March 2022 following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4] The effect was massive disruption and the Russian agency said it had switched back to paper records following the attack.[4]
Due to budget limitations, Rosaviatsia did not have good backup of the hacked data.[5]
Leadership
The head of the Federal Air Transport Agency is appointed and dismissed by the government of the Russian Federation. At its creation, the head was Nikolay Vladimirovich Shipil. Other heads followed, including from 2009, Alexander Neradko [ru].[3] who was replaced & criminally charged with initiation of war.[6] Since September 2022, Dmitry Yadorov [ru] has headed the Agency.[7]
